The Mets followed up their first-inning outburst by replicating it in the bottom of the very next inning. Jay Bruce singled in Michael Conforto, Cespedes doubled in Cabrera, and Jose Reyes singled in Bruce and Cespedes.

During the seventh inning, Joe West missed an obvious foul tipstrikeout by Luke Voit. Jacob deGrom should have been awarded seven scoreless innings, but ended up allowing Greg Garcia to score on a Voit double.

Over 6.2 innings, deGrom held his own. Despite allowing seven hits, deGrom let up just one run, walked just one, and struck out three batters.New York’s bullpen took over to finish the final 10 outs, and did a shaky job.
